Health Notes

Disclaimer:
This scientific independent research is provided by Aisle7 and is for informational use only. GNC provides this information as a service but does not endorse it. Likewise, Aisle7 does not recommend or endorse any specific products.

For an herb, supported by traditional use but minimal or no scientific evidence. For a supplement, little scientific support.

Our proprietary "Star-Rating" system was developed to help you easily understand the amount of scientific support behind each supplement in relation to a specific health condition. While there is no way to predict whether a vitamin, mineral, or herb will successfully treat or prevent associated health conditions, our unique ratings tell you how well these supplements are understood by some in the medical community, and whether studies have found them to be effective for other people.

For over a decade, our team has combed through thousands of research articles published in reputable journals. To help you make educated decisions, and to better understand controversial or confusing supplements, our medical experts have digested the science into these three easy-to-follow ratings. We hope this provides you with a helpful resource to make informed decisions towards your health and well-being.

Supplement

Amount

Why

Alpha Lipoic Acid

600 to 1,200 mg a day

[3 stars]

Taking alpha lipoic acid may improve insulin sensitivity and help protect against diabetic complications such as nerve damage.

Pinitol, a molecule found in high concentrations in soybeans and other legumes, may decrease fasting blood sugar level, improve insulin sensitivity, and improve a measure of long-term blood sugar control (hemoglobin A1c).

About This Condition

Diabetes mellitus is an inability to metabolize carbohydrates resulting from inadequate
insulin production or utilization. Other forms of diabetes (such as diabetes insipidus) are
not included in this discussion.

There are two types of diabetes mellitus, type 1 and type 2. This article concerns type 2 diabetes, which has also been called adult-onset diabetes or non-insulin-dependent diabetes. However, type 2 diabetes may also affect children and may also require treatment with insulin. With type 2 diabetes, the pancreas often makes enough insulin, but the body has trouble using it. Type 2 diabetes frequently responds well to natural therapies.

People with diabetes cannot properly process glucose, a sugar the body uses for energy. As a result, glucose stays in the blood, causing blood glucose to rise. At the same time,
however, the cells of the body can be starved for glucose. People with diabetes
are at high risk for heart disease, atherosclerosis, cataracts, retinopathy,
stroke, poor wound healing, infections, and damage to the kidneys and nerves. In addition, those with diabetes have a higher mortality rate if they also have high homocysteine levels.1
